NetworkVariable-class: The NetworkVariable class

Description

Description

This class allows to store network survey data. Basically, data are stored as matrix of survey codes and a dictionnary containing labels and missing values specification. A network should be read as ROWS do to COLUMNS. For instance, if the description field of a network variable is defined as "Gives emotional support." and the first row of the first case is 0 1 1 0 0, we understand that PERSON1 gives emotional support to PERSON2 and PERSON3 in the first network. The class supports a link to a NetworkMetavar object to take into account demographic information about people cited within the networks.
